Nabbing stuff left outside charity shops (2 Viewers)

[Jill Hives]

Just don't leave your house outside the animal rescue charity if they aren't open. There are a lot of unscrupulous types around!

I'll put my cardboard box on a leash.

A lot of them appear to be hanging around on thumped!

Just do what you think is right. For example say you were minding some kid (say your son, daughter, neice, nephew) for the day and they saw the bag and went to take it - what would you say to them?

"Hey! How many times have I told you--check to see if anyone's looking first!"

How many times do I have to tell you? You keep sketch, I forage!

Incidentally, my mum was quite religious and strongly believed that charity should be private. I think it goes back to the idea that if you're looking for attention for your good deeds, then you're not truly thinking of others.

interesting article by Peter Singer (philospopher/author of Animal Liberation) on this viewpoint here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2008/jun/22/charitablegiving

singer also says that in wealthy countries like ours there is an ethical onus (not moral) on us to contribute at least 10-15 % of our income to charities working in the third world

Stealing my lines now, eh? I suppose if I left my armchair out on the footpath on a hot day you'd just come over and sit on it?

I hadn't seen your inferior line before posting my own.

Now, tell me more about this armchair...

The argument that someone else would have done it if you hadn't leads down a dark road. It justifies behaving the same as the worst person in the world.

I obviously didn't feel strongly enough against it to dither over taking it to begin with,

Just do what you think is right. For example say you were minding some kid (say your son, daughter, neice, nephew) for the day and they saw the bag and went to take it - what would you say to them?

There are lots of things I wouldn't let a kid I was minding do that I wouldn't have any qualms doing myself

Now, tell me more about this armchair...

It's suitable for wearing tracksuit bottoms pulled up past the bellybutton and shouting "Come in if you're good lookin'" when someone rings the doorbell.

 

[Wilbert]

That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.

Fair point!!

In a new twist, someone who volunteers in a charity shop has just told me that her shop isn't allowed to accept stuff left on the street outside opening hours. One more chalk-up for Team Feck-it. Neck and neck now, and half an hour before I go home....

Move fast, Pantone! Bring them along to rehearsal later. No doubt they'll fit right in.

I am wrong - and proved so - about 20 times a day.

Proven.

How fit is he? How far away is your office?
